As the game continues to improve, there are a few edits to questions and answers that didn’t make the cut before production! As readers continue to research and challenge answers (which I love - debate is a part of trivia games!), updates to wording and answers will be provided here!
-
During a demonstration, there was discussion over whether Harry qualifies as an answer. As the game maker, I don’t see how stating Harry in the question, disqualifies Harry from being an answer, however to oblige, here is how I will rewrite the question
Name 3 students who actually fly on their broomsticks during (or slightly after) the 1st year flying lesson at Hogwarts
-
Correction - Answer 3: Alecto Carrow is NOT a correct answer.
There is already a Level 1 Question that asks - Name 2 professors that teach Potions while Harry is at Hogwarts. That is the correct question, as there is no 3rd Potions teacher that we learn of from the 7 books. Therefore this Level 3 card should be thrown out! This is my biggest mistake thus far. Apologies. We’ll do better next time.

This question needs an update to also exclude Mandrakes. A mandrake is indeed a “creature” as a user (my dear sister) pointed out to me; but I also think it’s more of a weapon than a sentient being that chose to fight in the battle. Updated question will say: Name 7 types of sentient creatures that fight in the Battle of Hogwarts (on either side of the battle) (Poltergeists, ghosts, mandrakes and snakes are not included)
-
Multiple people have brought to my attention Book 7 chapter 4, The 7 Potters, where Voldemort starts the Killing Curse, but is then interrupted by Harry’s wand acting of his own accord. Because the spell is not completed, I do not believe this qualifies as an answer, however the wording on the question is vague in it’s current state. The updated question will read: Name or describe 5 occasions where Voldemort directs (and completes) the Killing Curse at Harry Potter (not including his failed attempt during the escape of the 7 Potters)
-
Missing Answer: Seamus and Lavender (4, 22)
In updated version this will read: Name 10 student couples… -
Additional Answer - Inferi (6,21)

Correction - Answer 10: Ernie Macmillan -5 “For contradicting me” (Snape) - The answer is correct, but Draco Malfoy takes these points away, not Snape. A small correction, but a correction nonetheless.
